2. An innovative material that is characterized
by long chains networks of inorganic
molecules—is a potential alternative to
conventional portland cement concrete.

3. GEO + Polymer
Ecofriendly
Chemical reaction between alumino silicate and
silicates which are under highly alkaline condition
which makes the polymer whose monomer is
[-( Si-O2)z-Al-O]n
(Silicate Siloxo).
4. Portland cement production is a major
contributor to CO2 emissions as an estimated
5 TO 8 %of all human generated. atmospheric
CO2 worldwide comes from the concrete
industry.
Because of Co2 emission in the
atmosphere temperature is increased in
atmosphere and global warming house
effect causes.
5. PRODUCTION OF CEMENT (2017)
Production of Portland cement is currently
topping 2.6 billion tons per year worldwide
and growing at 5 percent annually.

6. ● Portland is not considered sustainable due to
energy intensive process an high CO2
generation.
● It is estimated that production of one tonne
of cement clinker required 2.9 to 4.7 GJ
energy and produces 800 Kg of CO2.

11. Geopolymer concrete also has a high
resistance for chlorides so it can be used for
1. In coastal areas for buildings to resistance
against chloride corrosion.
2. For cold climate places.
3. For concrete structure that will be constant
attack from salt water.
12. The U.S. military is using
geopolymer pavement coatings
designed to resist the heat
generated by vertical take off and
landing aircraft (Hambling 2009)
Construction and
repair of highways,
roads airport runways
13. Uses no portland cement.
Uses industrial by products waste products like fly
ash, copper slag and blast furnace slag.
Reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Preserves natural resources like lime stone.
Geopolymer concrete also has very high compressive
strength.
Geopolymer concrete also has very low shrinkage and
creep.
Geopolymer concrete is better and more reliable in
extreme environments when compared to ordinary
concrete.
Additional innovation points for green buildings
assessment.
